The Boxing thread

Usyk doesn’t stand a chance against fury!

Funny how it's always the ones who've never laced the gloves up who always have something to say about professional boxers.

2 elite level Olympic gold medallists. If you can criticise either of these men, make sure you've achieved 1% of what they have in life.

Yeah, it's super cringey reading some of these comments!

They'd run a mile from Joshua rather than say it to him, nevermind get in a ring for a 30 sec sparring!

Haha!

A few things I would take from that, far better performance from AJ and I would actually hold out hope for him going forward together with Garcia. Perhaps the Uysk fight was a step too soon, either way I give him more credit for that than the Ruiz win. He went up in my estimation then ....he does that mental speech.

Uysk deserved and clear winner, never a spilit decision and crazy a judge found it that way. I much prefer Uysk over Tyson as a boxer and a athlete, but that fight leaves me in no doubt Fury beats Uysk.

I would personally love either of these two fight Wilder, AJ Joe Joyce would also be a great UK event. Hopefully not the last we see of either.

I can’t play guitar but I know a good guitarist when I hear one.

Not how criticism works though is it? If it worked how you think it should then this forum shouldn't even exist as I doubt very many on here have played professional football at the highest level. No one should say if they think a movie they watched was shit without having made their own Hollywood movie first. See how silly that gets?

I haven't played professional football either. Should I not talk about that?
I respect what these guys do; it's brutal and vicious, but AJ is lacking. It's ok to say that.

Odd forum to post that on to be fair, I’m pretty sure most posters on here didn’t play professional football themselves either ;)

On the fight, would have been interesting to see if Joshua had had a couple of more fights with Garcia before the rematch. Felt like he made progress but not enough to be ready for a fighter the calibre of Usyk.

Obviously. You wouldn't last four minutes on the pitch with Premier League footballers. But you still talk about them. And that is absolutely fine.
